PARADISE, May 2, 1887.
EDITOR SILVER STATE:-Los An
geles. San Bernardino, Pasadena,
San Luis Obispo, and many other
places in California are having
their boom. 1t is about time for
Nevada to come to the front IN her
usual grand style. Humboldt will
soon have the biggest boom out,
Senator Pierce believes the upper
part Of Paradise Valley lies in the
greatest gas belt in the world. He
has been boring for water, and
struck gas we'll that he believes
will flow 100000 feet in "A hours.
He has named it Eureka" The
excitemen here is great, and there
are several capitalists who intend
to take stock in the well and it is
probable many others will soou be
bored. Our citizens are willing
to build a gas belt around the en-
tire town, so as to induce manufac-
turers to locate here and have the
benefit of free gas. Since the fluid
ing of gas the real estate boom has
struck the town hard and prices are
going up like magic. The last one
hears on retiring is real estate
option" and he is greeted with the
same in the morning when he
arises. VIM, Weighed of the Para
disc Hotel, Charles Kemler, r.
Schwartz and G. G. Biles have al
ready contracted to have the gas in
their places of business. A can
factory will be located here i'm
mediately, and Humboldt ported
meats will soon be on the market.
Harvey Brothers, | understand,
contracted with Tom Shone for 80
tons of Shone's sand per week, and
we will soon have a window-glass
factory in full blast. Henry Busch
has caught the cheap gas fever, and
when here purchased site for
gas well. He will probably move
his bottling works to Paradise. |
he intends to pipe gas
from here to Winuemucca, and be-
lieves he can make good thing out
Of it. Our citizens held meeting
today and decided TO lay a pipe to
Paradise. We will soon have nat
ural gas burning in the town.
Bell & Soper, the active, live
and enterprising young merchants
of Spring City, attended the meet
ing today, and contracted for the
natural thing to burn in their store,
and Bell wants it in all his many
houses in Spring City.
Hurrah for Paradisiel An enter
prlsing citizen of our town intends
to erect water-works Immediately.
and you can put it down as fixed
fact that Paradise instead of being
one Of the handsomest towns ia the
State, Will soon be the most beauti-
full and attractive commercially.
Joe WATSON has purchased fine
property nearly opposite the Para
disc Hotel, and will make it the
headquarters Of the Paradise Gas
& Water Co. B.
